I've got a differential temp gauge on my car since I'm involved in ORR. Running down the freeway at 75 mph after about 20 minutes my diff temp settles on about 210f. If I do an open tracking event it will peg the gauge at 300f within 20 minutes if I don't use my diff cooler. 180 is WELL within reason IMO. Saying that it should run 100f above ambient is false IMO since differant vehicle speeds make drastically differant amount of heat. In town it probably wouldn't get over 100-120f, on the hwy is would be much higher.
